I haven't seen the video, but I've heard the officers conduct was 110% illegal and despicable.

On behalf of all good officers, I apologize for this criminal assholes conduct. After a jury by peer, execute him.

"I haven't seen the video, but I've heard the officers conduct was 110% illegal and despicable."

The video is a waste of time -- it begins as the officer is shooting. As they all do.

In South Carolina, "more than 200 police officers fired their weapons at suspects in the past five years, and none have been convicted, according to an analysis by the State newspaper's Clif LeBlanc".

This officer was charged a year after the shooting as a result of pressure from the black community. I'm sure Ferguson and other recent shootings played a role.

South Carolina allows deadly force on a fleeing felon. Whether the prosecutor can get 12 people to agree it wasn't applicable here remains to be seen.

It ends with him dropping his taser next to the body from what I hear... that's undefendable

It was odd, that's for sure.

If there was a struggle for the taser, it fell to the ground, the guy ran away ..., how does the cop explain the taser next to the body? Hell, that's more incriminating than leaving it where it was.

I'm guessing that, after the shooting, he just wasn't thinking straight.

You call it odd. I call it planted. lol

He should be hung by his nut sac. I take personal offense at this... he made my past profession look bad. I'd like him executed just for that.

Even the video doesn't tell us everything.

As the black guy starts to run, you can see a metallic line tightening between him and the cop. So a taser attempt was made.

I conclude the cop tried to taser him but that the electrode barb hit some loose clothing and never contacted the skin firmly so the suspect turned to flee and got shot 8 times in the back.

FNC said the video showed the cop retreated back to the vehicles to get the dropped taser. I'm not sure about that.

And they aren't explaining how they got so far away from the two vehicles.

What if the black guy was driving drunk and had a couple of previous DUIs (possibly including a fatal accident)? What if he was running away because he knew he'd face prison time if he was tested for DUI and got convicted? What if he was a truck driver or other license holder and he was running to avoid the breathalyzer and losing his job?

None of that excuses shooting a non-violent detainee in the back but it might mitigate the officer's guilt, despite his manipulation of the crime scene.

If the cop's meddling with the scene shows evidence of guilt, doesn't the black guy fleeing show some evidence of guilt as well?

News reports are fine but a few seconds of video never tells the whole story.

Anyway, I thought it would be fun to let you two play the "hang the dirty cop" role and I'd lick some raw jackboot for a change.     : )

"wanted for arrest on a Family Court warrant"

Good point.

"And they aren't explaining how they got so far away from the two vehicles."

My understanding was that there was a car chase. The victim bailed and the cop chased him. There was a struggle and the taser was employed -- ineffectively. A further struggle and the taser fell to the ground.

Now the video starts.

The guy flees again and the cop fires seven shots. Pause. The guy keeps running. All misses? The cop fires the 8th round and he finally falls.

The cop handcuffs him then retreats back to the location of the struggle to get the dropped taser. Why? I have no idea.

Criminal suspects are sort of obligated to show some guilt. That's what makes them criminal suspects.

Cops,on the other hand are supposed to enforce the laws,not be guilty of breaking them.
